The crossroads of North Central Mass
Warwick is at the crossroads of everything in North Central Massachusetts. In the center of town sits a rustic wooden sign, guiding people in whatever direction they need. Worcester is 40 minutes away and Vernon, Vermont, is 9 miles in the opposite direction. Keene, New Hampshire, is about 20 miles north, and Boston is 75 miles east. Warwick is centrally located, but there’s not much going on. “It’s a very small rural community,” says Keith McGuirk, a retired Realtor and chair of the Economic Development Industrial Corporation in nearby Athol. “Nobody works in Warwick.”
Warwick Massachusetts is dominated by Mount Grace.

Miles between New England log cabins
Traditional suburban neighborhoods do not exist in Warwick. Instead, the area has log cabins on dozens of acres, waterfront homes on a cold-water pond, clapboard colonials and empty overgrown lots with dozens of acres. “There are no neighborhoods. You can drive a mile down the road before you hit the next house,” says McGuirk. Home prices range between $210,000 and about $450,000. The North Central region’s population is growing, says McGuirk, which happens every time the real estate market booms. “We get these waves of migration every 15 years or so,” he says.
